The frontline recruitment target of 120,000 troops was met in just one month after the Austrian tribe opened a breakthrough.
However, the city beast did not immediately leave for the front line after completing its goal, but instead walked and stopped in the Baiduan Mountains.
Calculated based on the straight-line distance, the current distance from the Ao clan station is only about 300 kilometers, and the efficiency is ridiculously slow.
"According to my investigation during this period, there were no strange events around the city beast that night. Only a bolt of lightning struck the city beast. I don't know if this was the reason why it had problems."
"Lightning?" Su Mo frowned slightly.
After seeing the abnormal attributes of the Hope, he would never believe that lightning could bring harm to the city beast. The demigod was not so fragile.
However, the city beast did suffer some kind of attack that night, so that the control of the shadow beast tribe dropped from 51% to 47.07%, making it impossible to drive the city beast to continue moving.
"Could it be that lightning has no effect on the city beasts, but does great harm to the shadow beasts?"
Although the shadow beasts live in the bodies of city beasts, they are essentially just ordinary aliens, and they may indeed be harmed by lightning.
Sumo secretly guessed and asked casually, "How is the weather in the Baiduan Mountains recently?"
"It's not that good, the autumn rain comes one after another."
"Oh? What about during thunderstorms? Have you ever observed the whereabouts of city beasts?"
"Yeah" Connie thought for a moment and nodded.
"I don't know much about thunderstorms, but the city beasts will stop whenever it rains. This is why they haven't left the Baiduan Mountains until now."
"I understand, I will test this in a targeted manner in the future."
If lightning causes huge damage to the shadow beasts, the points required to conquer the city beasts will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.
Ideally, if you can rely on lightning to drive away the shadow beasts, you can directly purchase more than 51% of the city beast control rights at the lowest price.
However, Sumo also knew that this situation was unlikely to happen.
After all, as long as the shadow beast clan completely gives up control and shrinks, it will be difficult for lightning to continue to cause damage.
But having said that, considering that the city beast is so bulky, there are more opportunities to try to detect it.
As long as the weaknesses of the shadow beast tribe can be determined, subsequent research will be simple.
"Since they no longer care about my life or death, and even expect me to enter the gambling battle, this will save trouble. There is no need to hide it in the next few days."
It’s really a twist of fate.
It was really a blessing that the first gambling battle was a "blessing" designed by human beings. After working hard for half a year, when the gambling battle was approaching, Sumo didn't expect to have a short rest and relaxation time.
After staying in the Austrian tribe and having a simple lunch, the two of them rushed towards the city beast in a hurry.
In the Baiduan Mountains, the whereabouts of city beasts cannot be hidden at all.
It has a huge weight and a special way of moving. Wherever the city beast passes by, the tentacles it uses to move itself will constantly leave giant rut-like marks on the ground.
Even after several days of rain, it is still clearly visible.
Taking advantage of the circulation between water systems, Connie used magic, and the two of them crossed 300 kilometers in less than four hours.
Since he had mastered the spell to enter and exit the city beast, Soma easily entered the city beast's body without attracting the attention of the aliens accompanying the city beast.
It was still the same room as before, with red mist drifting away inside, giving people an eerie and deserted feeling.
Green light emits, scanning the current attributes of the city beast.
As the current panel was brought back, Sumo glanced at it and was surprised.
"Hey, after all this time, the control of the Shadow Beast Clan has not been restored?"
According to the share determined by the system, the shadow beast clan’s control over the city beasts still remains at 47.07%.
During this period, City Beast's own control soared to 3.93%.
This was not shown at all before.
At that time, the city beasts did not show specific control, but now they have clear shares, and they happen to be the ones that the shadow beast tribe lost.
"The Shadow Beast Clan has not reached 51% control, but it can continue to drive the city beasts to move."
"It seems that the purpose of conscription is to allow a large number of creatures to enter the city beast's body to consume energy and reduce the overall value."
Sumo stared at the shares belonging to the city beasts on the panel, and basically understood the intention of the shadow beast clan to recruit troops.
If the shares of City Beast are 100, then 47.07 shares naturally have no control rights.
But if the shares can be reduced to 96.07 shares, then control can be regained in a tricky way.
"I don't know whether the increase in City Beast's own shares is a good thing, but it is better than giving it back to the Shadow Beast Clan."
"In that case, let's eat up all the cheap shares in one go!"
Before coming here, Sumo's plan was to use 10,000 special survival points and acquire 10% of the shares to unlock the use of some special abilities of the city beasts.
In this way, even if she goes to a gambling world set in the wasteland, Connie can still guarantee the right to use the city beasts.
But now after seeing the changes in the city beast, he changed his mind.
It is really dangerous to let the city beasts cause trouble in the wasteland world, and you may get into trouble if you are not careful.
But if you can get 30% of the usage rights, find the city beast in the gambling world, and temporarily return it to him, you can surpass the 47.07 of the shadow beast clan in one fell swoop.
Sumo suddenly expected what kind of actions the reborn city beast would do?
How will the city beast behave towards the shadow beast clan that imprisoned him?
Furthermore, after reaching 30% control, you will be eligible to compete with the shadow beast clan for control of the city beast.
If you can kick out the shadow beast clan in the gambling world, you can completely master the use of city beasts.
hiss.
Thinking of the city beast's unique brainwashing ability, Sumo suddenly realized that this thing is a bit invincible in a battle of faith, right?
"Thirty thousand is thirty thousand, if the old ones don't go, the new ones won't come!"
"Done!"
Gritting his teeth and stamping his feet.
Sumo steeled himself and resolutely set aside 30,000 points from his account and handed them over to the system for use.
In an instant.
The number "67095" in the special survival point column quickly became blurry, and when it became clear again it had dropped sharply to "37095".
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling red light suddenly burst out from Somo's chest, like a gorgeous firework, instantly illuminating the surrounding area.
It's actually red?
Sumo thought in his heart that the last time he saw the system emitting red light was when he strengthened the shelter drawings.
At that time, I don't know what happened to the drawing, which attracted the attention of the Supreme Being.
It was this red light that forced the opponent back, leaving no further trouble.
Now the red light reappears
The light merged into the red mist floating in the room and began to spread to every space inside the city beast.
Buzz.
Buzz.
Buzz.
Suddenly, an inexplicable vibration came from the void, turning the entire room black.
The originally small space continued to expand under the influence of the black aura, quickly filling the entire field of vision.
Somo made a move, his heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and the scene in front of him was beyond his imagination.
Red light and black mist intertwined, as if two completely different forces were engaged in a silent contest, each occupying half of the world.
It's just that although the red light is strong, it seems a bit thin in this sudden black wave. Sometimes it is suppressed by the surge of black tide to only one third.
The only thing that makes people happy is that this suppression does not last long. Every time there is only one third of the red light left, it will penetrate more stubbornly into every corner touched by darkness.
The buzzing sound became more intense, carrying an indescribable sense of oppression.
Somo's pupils shrank suddenly, and a pair of eyes appeared in the black tide at some point.
The power contained in it seems to be able to penetrate all the secrets in the world, and it seems to be able to swallow up all the light and color around it. The moment it appears, the entire space inside the city beast trembles, even the red mist and black gas filling the air
It also seemed to solidify at this moment.
"Are these eyes the Lord of the Abyss?"
A terrible thought appeared in Somo's mind and became impossible to get rid of.
As a descendant of the Lord of the Abyss, the City Beast is still connected to the Lord of the Abyss, although it is settled by the Shadow Beast Clan.
At this moment, when the system deprives the city beast of its body control, it still inevitably attracts such a terrifying existence.
But why didn’t the Shadow Orcs usher in the Lord of the Abyss?
etc.
Suddenly, Sumo suddenly realized why obtaining the right to use the city beast would cause such a big reaction.
Sojourn, deprivation.
These are basically two concepts. It can be said that the latter is almost letting the city beast recognize its master.
No wonder the Lord of the Abyss would be provoked and his children would become slaves of other creatures. What a provocation and arrogance this is!
"The system. The system won't just fight the Lord of the Abyss, right?"
After taking a look at the special survival spots with only more than 30,000 people left, Sumo couldn't help but look sad.
To deal with this kind of existence, thirty thousand points is absolutely a drop in the bucket.
Even with 300,000 points, I'm afraid it might not be possible to win down a top-level existence like the Lord of the Abyss, right?
Fortunately, the stalemate only lasted for more than ten seconds.
As the red light continued to flash, the eyes of the Lord of the Abyss gradually disappeared, and the spreading darkness also disappeared.
Just like when the Hope appeared, a strange spiritual connection began to appear in Somo's mind.
However, it is completely different from the calm, peaceful and warm atmosphere conveyed by the Hope. The mental link of the city beast appears to be extremely violent and fierce. Even under the strong suppression of the system, its violent nature is still difficult to conceal.
"It's too dangerous. You still need to be cautious when trying this kind of thing in the future." Sumo was still looking at the position before his eyes disappeared, and a warning bell sounded in his heart.
The system can indeed strip enough control rights from the city beasts.
But because of the inexplicable beings this behavior provokes, there is a high probability that they will not wipe his butt for him.
If there are not enough survival points at this time, the threat level is no less than being targeted by the 'power'.
"Fortunately, I survived and got the thirty-year authority!"
Putting his fear out of his mind, Somo took out a breath and started to check the updated city beast panel.
[Abyss City Beast (Special Creature)]
【describe】:
[Current Level]: Pseudo God Level·New Entry
[Current state]: Semi-resident state·Plundering chaos state (originally inhabited by the shadow beast clan, and later forcibly occupied by the host. The intertwining of the forces of both parties caused the city beast to enter an extremely unstable self-chaotic state. In this state,
There is a chance that the city beast will lose control when using its abilities, causing unknown consequences)
[Current occupancy]: 30% (occupancy can be increased by injecting points)
[Unlocked abilities]:
Falling into the abyss (when inside the abyss city beast, the biological energy field will resonate and exchange with the city beast. When the energy field exchange reaches 30%, the creature will never be able to leave the city beast voluntarily)
Abyssal (Abyss City Beast can release a special kind of mental fluctuation, which affects the thinking and emotions of internal creatures. The degree of influence is determined by the residence time of the creature. The longer the residence time, the deeper the degree of infection)
Apostle (the creature that has completed the Fall into the Abyss will automatically be converted into an apostle of the city beast, and will obey the orders of the city beast)
Resonance (under certain conditions, all apostles will lose all thinking ability, resonate with the city beast's orders, and are willing to sacrifice everything for its realization)
【???】,【???】,【???】
[Evaluation]: One of the most perfect shelter prototypes!
With 30% of the permissions, four new abilities are unlocked.
Soma looked thoughtful. After reading the literal description, he then used his spiritual link to experience it.
As expected, he is worthy of being a demigod-level creature, and worthy of being the descendant of the Lord of the Abyss.
Each of the four abilities unlocked by the city beast can be said to be ridiculously strong.
Falling into the abyss is the ability used by the shadow beast tribe to control dead warriors.
Through repeated exchanges of energy fields, the strength of the aliens entering the city beast will rapidly increase.
However, as the level of improvement increases, it will be restricted accordingly, and it will no longer be able to actively leave the city beast.
As for this item, as the system was stripped down to 30% of the authority, Sumo also gained the authority to use it.
And unlike the shadow beast clan's sojourn state, which can only be roughly controlled, he can use it more accurately.
Through the spiritual link, the city beast can be controlled and exchanged accurately to one tenth of a percent.
That is to say, you can actively control the degree of falling into the abyss to 29%. In this way, you will not only gain strength, but will not be affected by the side effects of falling into the abyss.
Secondly, the shadow beast tribe can only set a simple spiritual target when using Yuanran's ability.
For example, the current setting is ‘rush to the front line and fight humanity at all costs’.
However, through the spiritual link, Sumo was surprised to find that he could directly modify this spiritual goal.
In addition, a new goal can be added to this spiritual goal.
In other words, as long as he changes his mental goals in a single thought, these nearly 200,000 soldiers of the alien race trapped inside the city beast will immediately become "allies" of mankind.
Or you can add one to the original spiritual goal, and if you encounter any gesture from a human, you will unconditionally draw your sword against the alien.
"Damn it, it's not surprising that the Lord of the Abyss has been attracted by this. Systematic plunder and sojourn are completely different things!"
Only 30% of the authority can cover the commands generated by nearly 50% of the shadow beast clan's authority.
No wonder it can compete with the Shadow Beast Clan for control after the possession degree is raised to 3%.
Fifty percent of the sojourn should focus most of the commands on controlling the movement of the city beasts, and the part that can really be focused on abilities is estimated to be only about 10%.
"There are apostles and resonance."
"These abilities. Damn it, each one is more perverted than the last!"
Sumo couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
Converted to the changes brought about by up to 300,000 survival points in the previous version, the winning rate of gambling battles has been increased by at least half.
If the next gambling scene cannot be changed, then what the alien race is about to face may be another big failure no less than the Battle of Ten Thousand Paths!
